The only real solution I can think of would be if apple actually incentivized app creators to reduce their size. They are actively harming the Apple ecosystem by preventing users from having a large number of apps which hurts Apple. * Charge owners a fee for apps over a certain size "a processing fee" or whatnot * Charge owners a fee based on the download costs. Under XMB and it is free. The more you cost apple to transfer your app to their customer the larger the fee. * Penalize large apps in the app store search results or give bonus to smaller apps. Or rather than straight up bonus's / penalize apps based on size go after specific things that cause bloat * Apps that don't use pngcrush on their png's * Shipping wav files and not acc * ... Maybe Apple doesn't even need to actually implement any of these, but just threaten to.
